[00:13.56] I was the daughter
[00:14.95]
[00:19.30] Of a little known king
[00:22.16]
[00:22.71] When they came
[00:24.18] And put me in a castle
[00:25.72]
[00:28.54] My eyes had never seen
[00:31.77]
[00:33.03] They spoke in tongues
[00:34.23] I've never heard
[00:35.44]
[00:36.48] They took me to the sea
[00:38.58]
[00:39.10] At the edge of the earth
[00:44.40] I journied tempest waters
[00:46.50]
[00:47.49] Reached these distant shores
[00:49.49] My clothes are tattered
[00:51.32]
[00:52.40] And my soul is worn
[00:53.97]
[00:54.74] I bore a daughter
[00:56.46] In captivity
[00:57.32]
[00:59.17] They came late one night
[01:01.22] To take her away from me
[01:02.86]
[01:05.80] I cried and I cried
[01:07.96]
[01:08.47] Oh, Lord have mercy on me
[01:10.15]
[01:11.22] Can't they see
[01:13.01] That little girl
[01:13.75] Is royalty
[01:14.70] I held my ground
[01:18.13] And took my stand
[01:20.47] Can't help
[01:22.08] Feeling sometimes
[01:24.27]
[01:25.27] That I'm a stranger
[01:27.84]
[01:29.35] In this land
[01:30.66] In this land of mine
[01:34.29]
[01:38.43] My mother used
[01:39.80] To cook and clean
[01:41.36]
[01:42.99] For the rich folks
[01:44.46] On the hill
[01:46.03]
[01:48.01] Made sure
[01:48.74] I got an education
[01:50.10]
[01:53.42] And could hardly
[01:54.27] Pay the bills
[01:55.51]
[01:57.07] I studied
[01:58.67] Schools of thought
[02:02.84] And philosophies of man
[02:05.13] Started questioning
[02:06.27] The contradictions
[02:07.07] In this land
[02:09.40] I left the classroom
[02:10.91]
[02:11.43] Joined the rallies
[02:12.74] In the street
[02:13.48]
[02:14.90] Marching hand in hand
[02:16.34]
[02:16.95] In the Mississippi heat
[02:19.65] I spent so many years
[02:21.85] Of my life on the move
[02:23.70]
[02:25.41] That confrontation
[02:25.91] Was the only thing i knew
[02:29.24]
[02:30.75] Talking unity and how
[02:32.53] We gone push on through
[02:33.80]
[02:34.61] Can't even say no more
[02:37.79]
[02:38.52] If anything's improved
[02:40.03]
[03:25.93] I'm a family man
[03:27.39]
[03:27.99] With a wife
[03:28.67]
[03:29.94] And two kids to feed
[03:31.92]
[03:34.82] I dedicated my life
[03:37.30]
[03:40.40] To seeing we succeed
[03:42.40]
[03:44.62] The way I sought to make it
[03:46.83]
[03:47.35] I learned to follow the rules
[03:49.14]
[03:50.67] So we can make sure
[03:52.14] Our children visit
[03:53.72] The finest schools
[03:55.66] Grandmas on the weekends
[03:58.21] Going on about the good old days
[03:59.88]
[04:01.59] When decent black folks
[04:02.70]
[04:04.18] Be trying to make a change
[04:06.00] My parents used to tell me
[04:07.90]
[04:08.52] To live my life steadfast
[04:10.17]
[04:11.13] But some may ask me
[04:13.70] What it is that I have
[00:13.56] 曾经,我还是个孩子
[00:19.30] 我的父亲是小有名气的领袖
[00:22.71] 直到某天,他们来到这里
[00:24.18] 把我带到一座城堡里
[00:28.54] 我的双眼模糊,所见之处一片黑暗
[00:33.03] 他们说着一些
[00:34.23] 我闻所未闻的语言
[00:36.48] 把我丢入大海
[00:39.10] 那片海就在地平线边缘
[00:44.40] 我在暴风雨中随波逐流
[00:47.49] 随着海浪漂到千里之外的海岸
[00:49.49] 衣衫褴褛,无依无靠
[00:52.40] 灵魂好似脱离身体
[00:54.74] 在被囚禁时
[00:56.46] 我诞下一个女婴
[00:59.17] 一天夜里,他们又来到这里
[01:01.22] 夺走了我的孩子
[01:05.80] 我歇斯底里的哭喊
[01:08.47] 主阿,请宽恕我
[01:11.22] 我可怜的孩子
[01:13.01] 她是多么的高贵
[01:13.75] 为什么他们要夺走她
[01:14.70] 我坚守阵地
[01:18.13] 挺直身躯
[01:20.47] 有的时候
[01:22.08] 某种触痛油然而生
[01:25.27] 我终究不曾属于
[01:29.35] 这片土地
[01:30.66] 可这片土地养育了我
[01:38.43] 我的母亲
[01:39.80] 曾在一座小山丘上
[01:42.99] 为富裕的人们
[01:44.46] 洗衣做饭
[01:48.01] 一切都是为了
[01:48.74] 能让我得到良好的教育
[01:53.42] 即便这样
[01:54.27] 却还是穷困潦倒
[01:57.07] 我学到了
[01:58.67] 思想观和人类哲学等
[02:02.84] 相关知识
[02:05.13] 随之对这片土地上的
[02:06.27] 种族矛盾
[02:07.07] 疑惑不解
[02:09.40] 我走出教室
[02:11.43] 加入集会
[02:12.74] 上街游行
[02:14.90] 在密西西比的闹市中央
[02:16.95] 缓步行进
[02:19.65] 多年来
[02:21.85] 我一直行走在这条路上
[02:25.41] 这场斗争
[02:25.91] 是我所知道的唯一一件事
[02:30.75] 它关乎种族统一
[02:32.53] 以及我们如何发起反抗
[02:34.61] 如果此时此刻所发生的一切都能得到改善
[02:38.52] 喜悦之情将难以言表
[03:25.93] 我是一名家庭妇男
[03:27.99] 拥有一位贤良淑德的妻子
[03:29.94] 同时还养育了两个孩子
[03:34.82] 我一生都在找寻
[03:40.40] 成功的秘密
[03:44.62] 实现的途径
[03:47.35] 我学着循规蹈矩的生活
[03:50.67] 以确保我的孩子们
[03:52.14] 可以去最好的学校
[03:53.72] 学习知识
[03:55.66] 在休息日去拜访祖父母
[03:58.21] 不厌其烦的谈论着旧时光
[04:01.59] 刚正不阿的黑种人
[04:04.18] 正试着做出改变
[04:06.00] 我的父母曾告诉我
[04:08.52] 要过安稳的生活
[04:11.13] 也许,其他人会问我
[04:13.70] 我拥有的这一切又有何意义
